Open Air Museum

The Open Air Museum, Frilandsmuseet, is one of the oldest and biggest open air museums in the world.

The Open Air Museum north of Copenhagen is one of the largest and oldest in the world. Spread across 86 acres of land, the museum houses more than 50 farms, mills and houses from the period 1650-1940.

The buildings were re-errected with gardens and surrounding landscape to give visitors an impression of the history and environments of the country life as it was.

Virtually every region in Denmark and the Faeroe Islands as well as the former Danish provinces of southern Sweden and northern Germany is represented at the Open Air Museum so you can travel the length and breadth of Denmark in a single afternoon - just a stone's throw from Copenhagen centre.
